Bill Guadagni

Winemaker Bill Guadagni, a fourth-generation farmer, grew up immersed in vineyard life on his family's estate. His hands-on experience spans vineyard management, lab analysis, cellar work, and tasting room hospitality. In 2016, after studying Enology at Fresno State, Bill became the winemaker for Guadagni Family Wines. His first vintage fulfilled Raffaelo's dream of crafting wines from their own grapes. Bill blends traditional techniques with modern winemaking to create wines that truly reflect the character of Dry Creek Valley.

The North Coast of California is the crown jewel of American winemaking, renowned for producing some of the world's most prestigious and sought-after wines. Home to legendary wine regions such as Napa Valley, Sonoma County, Mendocino, and Lake County, this area is defined by its diverse terroir, coastal influences, and generations of winemaking expertise. With its rolling vineyards, cool maritime breezes, and rich soil, the North Coast offers the perfect conditions for cultivating world-class Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Zinfandel. From the bold, structured reds of Napa Valley to the elegant, cool-climate wines of Sonoma and Mendocino, this region embodies the very essence of California wine culture. When people think of California wine country, they picture the scenic landscapes and historic vineyards of the North Coast—a place where tradition meets innovation, and every bottle tells a story of craftsmanship and excellence.
